Smart phones and Tablet PC Any Layer PCB Assembly demand
General feature phone with an internal PCB board design HDI 1 +2 +1, middle and high-end smart phone with 2 +2 +2 and 3 +2 +3 design, respectively, using 4 layers and 6 layers HDI. In addition, iPad1 is 1 +8 +1, iPad2 is 3 +4 +3, a total of 6 layers using the HDI, pcb assembly the Any-Layer HDI, will be reduced to only 0.88 cm thick, iPad1 thickness of 1.34 cm. The new iPad thinner than the previous generation to 1 / 3, the main reason is the HDI board from the original multi-stage evolution for the traditional Any-Layer, Any-Layer, and higher density on the hole, however due to pore size is too small, making the whole Mine drill hole must be replaced by machine drilling.
The future will follow the iPad2 iPhone5 light and thin again, pcb assembly China all mine development drilling process will continue. Apple's smart phone and tablet PC products drive demand for HDI board. Apple iPhone4 and iPad2 used Any Layer HDI will lead the industry boom, the next Any Layer HDI will be more and more high-end mobile phones, tablet PCs in the applications. Any-Layer HDI is now in the smart phone penetration rate has gradually increased, and this year will dominate the Tablet PC, it is estimated that nearly 80% of models are used HDI design.
Marketing consulting firm Gartner recently noted that the share of the Tablet PC operating system, Apple's market share last year was 84%, by google's Android platform, pcba manuacturer we expect this year, its share will drop to 69%. IPad in the next few years despite the market share will continue to decline next year, or 63% of market share will be the highest ranking in 2015, will also be leading 47% share of the other vendors. According to Gartner assessment, market share aside, then put aside, iPad sales volume will continue to rise, from 14.7 million units last year to grow to 47.9 million units this year, more in 2015 will reach 138 million units.
iPad2 four major global supplier of home, PCB Assembly Tripod is the only supplier of Taiwan's HDI board, and the remaining three for the United States, TTM, Japan's IBIDEN, MEIKO. All alternative suppliers from Taiwan manufacturers, namely Nam electricity, gold, like electricity, Hua Tong, Xin Xing.
